LG Twins vs Samsung Lions 4/23/24 Pick: LG Twins
The LG Twins are coming here with the league leading in hitting. However, the pitching for the Twins is also better than the Lions overall. The downside for LG is the starter they are putting on the mound is not the greatest and in most cases would be considered fairly weak. Still, I think the LG offense will keep pace with the Lions hitting in the opening of the game and bring home the win.
